500 calorie diet and breastfeeding

Hi,

I have been ebf for 8 months now. Everything has been going well. I love feeding my baby and knowing that my milk is helping him grow and develop.

Please no judgement. I have a history of anorexia which got to the point of being hospitalised for 13 months. I have had 6 years of being stable, however I am really struggling at the minute.

How important is nutrition in breastfeeding? Is it possible to continue breastfeeding if my diet is restricted? It would break my heart if I had to stop feeding.
